Awadhlal vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh on 8 February, 2017
Vide the impugned judgment dated 14.10.2016 passed by the Sixth
Additional Sessions Judge Link Court Khurai district Sagar in Criminal
Appeal No.461/2012 titled Awadhlal Vs. State of M.P. through Police
Station Khurai, the sole applicant stands convicted under Section 379 of
the IPC and sentenced thereunder to suffer RI for one year with a fine of
1000 (one thousand) rupees, with default clause.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant remained
on bail during trial of the case and also pendency of the appeal.
However, he has been undergoing the jail sentence since 14.10.2016,
the date of the impugned judgment. He submits that the applicant had
already deposited the fine amount as imposed. He submits that this
revision is of the year 2017 and there is no likelihood of the same being
listed for final hearing in recent future. He submits that looking to the
short term of remaining jail sentence, this revision becomes infructuous
in case the applicant would have suffered the same before this revision
being decided on merits. He submits that the applicant has a good case
on merits. Upon these submissions, he prays to allow the I.A.
Learned Panel Lawyer opposes the prayer.
